Problem: Baseball Game

Explore how to solve the baseball game scoring problem by applying stack operations in Python. Learn to manage a sequence of score updates using push, pop, and peek methods, and calculate the total valid score after all operations. This lesson helps you implement stack-based solutions and understand their time and space complexity, improving your problem-solving skills with linear data structures.

Statement

You are the scorekeeper for a baseball game with unusual rules. You begin with an empty score record.

You are given a list of string operations, where each operations[i] represents theithi^{th}operation to apply to the record. Each operation is one of the following:

  • An integer x: Record a new score of x.

  • "+": Record a new score equal to the sum of the two most recent scores.

  • "D": Record a new score equal to double the most recent score.

  • "C": Invalidate and remove the most recent score from the record.

Return the sum of all scores remaining on the record after all operations have been ...
